Where does the excess charge go?

Here is the current version of the slides for a talk, "Charge redistribution near oxygen vacancies in cerium oxides", that I am giving tomorrow in the Chemistry Department at University of Washington.




The main point of the talk is that the standard model of charge localisation (pictured above) is incorrect. A detailed discussion is contained in a review co-authored with Elvis Shoko and Michael Smith.

The legacy of 40 years of cuprate superconductivity

In February 1986, Bednorz and Müller made a stunning discovery: superconductivity at a temperature of 35 K in a doped copper oxide (cuprate)...
